Segment 1א׳

וְעוֹד אָמַר בּוּצִינָא קַדִּישָׁא, וַדַּאי אַנְתְּ הוּא כֹּלָּא, (ס"א ויאמר וגו') דְּאָמַר, (במדבר י״ב:ו׳) אִם יִהְיֶה נְבִיאֲכֶם וְגוֹ'. וּבְגִין דָּא, כַּד אִתְגַּלְיָיא אִימָּא עִלָּאָה לָךְ, אַמָרְתּ (שמות ג׳:ג׳) אֲסוּרָה נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה אֶת הַמַּרְאֶה הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה מַדּוּעַ לֹא יִבְעַר הַסְּנֶה. בְּגִין דְּאִיהִי רַחֲמֵי, אִתְּמַר בָּהּ לֹא יִבְעַר הַסְּנֶה.

And the Holy Lamp said further: Assuredly you are all of it (a variant reads: and He said, and so forth), of which He said, “If there be a prophet among you,” etc. (Num. 12, 6). And therefore, when the supernal Mother was revealed to you, you said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt” (Ex. 3, 3). Because she is mercy, it is said of her, “the bush is not burnt.”

Segment 2ב׳

וְחָמֵשׁ נְהוֹרִין אִית לָהּ, דְּאִתְקְרִיאוּ קַרְנֵי הַחַמָּה, עַד הוֹד, וּמִתַּמָּן עַד הוֹד, הֲווֹ נְהִרִין בָּךְ רַעְיָא מְהֵימְנָא, וְהַאי אִיהוּ וְנָתַן הוֹד לְמֹשֶׁה, לְאִשְׁתְּמוֹדְעָא דְּכֻלְּהוּ לָךְ אִתְיְיהִיבוּ, אֲפִילּוּ עַד הוֹד. וּבְגִין דָּא, פְּנֵי מֹשֶׁה כִּפְנֵי חַמָּה. וְאִלֵּין חֲמֵשׁ, סַלְּקִין לְחַמְשִׁין תַּרְעִין דְּבִינָה.

And she has five lights, which are called the rays of the sun, as far as hod (majesty); and from there as far as hod they shone in you, Faithful Shepherd. And this is, “and He gave hod to Moses” — to make it known that they were all given to you, even as far as hod. And therefore the face of Moses was as the face of the sun. And these five ascend to the fifty gates of binah.

Segment 3ג׳

וּבְאִלֵּין חָמֵשׁ דְּאִתְּמַר, דְּאִינּוּן חָמֵשׁ אוֹר דְּיוֹמָא קַדְמָאָה, דְּאִינּוּן לָקֳבֵל חָמֵשׁ אֶצְבְּעָן דִּימִינָא אִתְחַזְיָא לָךְ בַּסְּנֶה. בְּגִין דְּעָתִיד אַנְתְּ לְאַפָּקָא זַרְעָא דְּאַבְרָהָם מִן גָּלוּתָא, דְּאִיהוּ דַּרְגָּא (דאברהם) יְמִינָא. וּמִתַּמָּן בִּינָה אִיהוּ רַחֲמִים גְּמוּרִים, יַד הַגְּדוֹלָה. (אבל) מִסִּטְרָא דִּגְבוּרָה, יַד הַחֲזָקָה, חָמֵשׁ רָקִיעַ, בְּיוֹם שֵׁנִי, לָקֳבֵל חֲמֵשׁ אֶצְבְּעָן דִּשְׂמָאלָא. אֲבָל מִסִּטְרָא דְּדַרְגָּא דִּילָךְ, (שמות י״ד:ח׳) וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹצְאִים בְּיָד רָמָה. דְּגוּף וּתְרֵין דְּרוֹעִין וּתְרֵין שׁוֹקִין, לָקֳבֵל חֲמֵשׁ אֶצְבְּעָן, ה' ה' ה'. ה' אֶצְבְּעָן דְּיָד יָמִין, וה' דְּיָד שְׂמֹאל, וּתְרֵין דְּרוֹעִין וּתְרֵין שׁוֹקִין וְגוּף, דְּאִינּוּן חָמֵשׁ דְּסַלְּקִין יָ"הּ.

And in those five that were spoken of — which are the five occurrences of light of the first day, corresponding to the five fingers of the right hand — she appeared to you in the bush, because you are destined to bring the seed of Abraham out of exile, whose grade (of Abraham) is the right. And from there binah is perfect mercy, the great hand. But from the side of gevurah (severity), the mighty hand, are the five occurrences of firmament on the second day, corresponding to the five fingers of the left hand. But from the side of your own grade: “and the children of Israel went out with a high hand” (Ex. 14, 8) — the body and two arms and two thighs, corresponding to five fingers, He, He, He: five fingers of the right hand, and five of the left hand, and two arms and two thighs and the body, which are the five that mount up to Yah.

Segment 4ד׳

אָמַר לֵיהּ רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, בְּרִיךְ אַנְתְּ לְאִמָּא עִלָּאָה. אֲבָל הַאי י"ה שַׁוְיָא לִי (נ"א לי"ה) ה', בְּגִין מַטֵּה הָאֱלֹהִים, דְּאִיהוּ ו'. וְאָמַר וַדַּאי הָכִי הוּא. אָמַר לֵיהּ רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, בּוּצִינָא קַדִּישָׁא, לְאִתַּתְקְפָא מִלִּין דִּילָךְ, דְּמַרְאֶה אִיהִי לִימִינָא, חָשׁוּב בַּמַּרְאָה דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (במדבר י״ב:ו׳) בַּמַּרְאָה אֵלָיו אֶתְוַדָּע, וַתִּשְׁכַּח רמ"ח, דְּסָלִיק בְּחֻשְׁבַּן אַבְרָהָם. אָמַר בּוּצִינָא קַדִּישָׁא, בְּקַדְמִיתָא אִתְחֲזֵי לָךְ הַאי חֵיזוּ, דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ בַּמַּרְאָה אֵלָיו אֶתְוַדָּע. וּלְבָתַר דְּאַמְרַת, (שמות ג׳:ג׳) אָסוּרָה נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה אֶת הַמַּרְאֶה הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה. דְּאַדְכִּיר בֵּיהּ ה' זִמְנִין הַסְּנֶה. כְּעַן אִתְגַּלְיָיא לָךְ חֵיזוּ דָּא, ברמ"ח פִּקּוּדִין אִלֵּין, דְּאִינּוּן בַּחֲמִשָּׁה חוּמָשֵׁי תּוֹרָה. קָם רַעְיָא מְהֵימְנָא, וְנָשִׁיק לֵיהּ, וּבָרִיךְ לֵיהּ.

The Faithful Shepherd said to him: Blessed are you to the supernal Mother. But this Yah has set for me (a variant reads: for Yah) a He, because of the rod of God, which is Vau. And he said: Assuredly it is so. The Faithful Shepherd said to him: Holy Lamp, to strengthen your words — since mar'eh, a vision, is to the right — reckon bamar'ah, of which it is said, “in a vision do I make Myself known to him” (Num. 12, 6), and you will find two hundred and forty-eight, which is the number of Abraham. The Holy Lamp said: At the first this sight appeared to you, of which it is said, “in a vision do I make Myself known to him”; and afterwards you said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight” (Ex. 3, 3), in which the bush is mentioned five times. Now this sight has been revealed to you in these two hundred and forty-eight commandments, which are in the five books of the Torah. The Faithful Shepherd arose, and kissed him, and blessed him.

Segment 5ה׳

אָמַר לֵיהּ בּוּצִינָא קַדִּישָׁא, הַאי מַרְאֶה, לְזִמְנִין אִיהוּ בְּאוֹת ה' הַמַּרְאֶה הַגָּדוֹל. וּלְזִמְנִין אִיהוּ בְּאוֹת ב', בַּמַּרְאָה אֵלָיו אֶתְוַדָּע. וּלְזִמְנִין במ"ם, (יחזקאל א׳:כ״ז) מִמַּרְאֶה מָתְנָיו וּלְמַטָּה. וּלְזִמְנִין בכ' (שם) כְּמַרְאֵה אָדָם עָלָיו. וּלְזִמְנִין בו', (שמות כ״ד:י״ז) וּמַרְאֶה כְּבוֹד יְיָ'. וּלְזִמְנִין לְמַרְאֵה. לָא הֲוָה לֵיהּ לְמֶהֱוֵי תּוֹסֶפֶת אָת כְּלַל, בַּר ב' מִן בַּמַּרְאָה. אֶלָּא וַדַּאי, הַאי מַרְאֶה כְּלִילָא אִיהִי מֵעֶשֶׂר סְפִירָן, וְכָל אָת אַחְזֵי סְפִירָה דִּילָהּ, כְּגוֹן כְּמַרְאֵה בְּאָת כ', אַחְזֵי עַל כֶּתֶר, וְהָכִי שְׁאַר אַתְוָון, כָּל חַד אַחְזֵי עַל סְפִירָה דִּילָהּ. וְלָא צָרִיךְ לְאַרְכָא הָכָא, וּלְחַכִּימָא בִּרְמִיזָא.

The Holy Lamp said to him: This mar'eh is sometimes with the letter He — “the great sight”; and sometimes with the letter Beth — “in a vision do I make Myself known to him”; and sometimes with Mem — “from the appearance of his loins and downward” (Ezek. 1, 27); and sometimes with Kaph — “as the appearance of a man upon it” (Ibid.); and sometimes with Vau — “and the appearance of the glory of the Lord” (Ex. 24, 17); and sometimes lemar'eh. There should have been no added letter at all, save the Beth of bamar'ah. But assuredly this mar'eh is comprised of ten sefirot, and every letter shows its own sefirah — as kemar'eh, with the letter Kaph, shows keter (crown); and so the rest of the letters, each one shows its own sefirah. And there is no need to be lengthy here; for the wise, a hint is enough.
